Those Sweet Potatoes Enrich Your Drinks Sweet potatoes offer far more nutrients to the body than the common white potato. They are very good for soothing digestive upsets and are known to target the health of the stomach and spleen in Eastern medicine. This deep orange potato is rich in a wide spectrum of nutrients and is best eaten with the skin on to ensure its nutrients are intact. Enjoy them raw together with other green vegetables in a juice, or mashed with a touch of coconut oil and cinnamon added into the mix. Water is crucial for numerous bodily functions and helps the kidneys to flush out toxins. Experiment by including grated ginger and lemon before meals to aid digestion or drinking warming liquorice tea. Cloves are also great when added into teas and work a treat to help support the kidneys and boost circulation on cold winter days.
